freedom stalker with malicious words
selling falsehoods like fresh zucchini
settling for less in speaking more
as eyelids blink eternal lapses
and close with heavy burdens laden

hearts bespeak their mournful joy
of sad refrains in purse-ed words
like whippoorwills in woeful songs
leading choruses of cool causation
as doubts migrate to certainty

freedom stalker, let things be
and settle peace without your scene

Welcome back, dear Steaven! You have been missed.

This is a refined social/political poem and you give the idea that you have pondered this well.

I appreciate your work.

Love,
Margherita
